I started out with squats and tried my best to hit 295 but missed after doing 285 comfortably..( bad knees from 8 years Pro Agressive Skater)
I was pissed and started my Flat bench with DB's heres how it went.

70x8
80x7
90x7
100x7
115x6 Baby

Man I dont know what it is but since I started using DB's more my strength keep going up.

I go to a Professional Strongman/Powerlifting gym that has DB's up to 150 by 5's...love the place.

i wish there was a place like that close to me it'd really help me to learn from the stronger lifters there...at the gyms i go to i'm either the strongest or someone is barely stronger than me on like the bench press kinda sucks

yah its just that i would love to learn from someone stronger than me , or have a workout partner that could squat 500 or something. would be a great learning experience. sucks when everyone at the gyms you go to only are doing curls to look "pumped" at the club

Exactly, I have Liane Blyn who placed 2nd in the USAPL Women’s Nationals, and at least 7-10 other strongman/PL guys who compete. The Gym has everything from a stripped Cavalier, Kegs, Huge stongs, Tires, sleds. It really is an awesome place but expensive.
